About the Editor
Danielle Collins joined Beach Lane Books in the fall of 2020. Danielle works on fiction and nonfiction picture books, and has the pleasure of working with creators including Sharon Fujimoto-Johnson, Keenan Jones, Kabir and Surishtha Sehgal, Hope Lim, Shahrzad Maydani, Rekha S. Rajan, and Ken Daley, among other talented authors and illustrators. She is passionate about stories that inspire curiosity, empathy, and joy in young readers. She’s looking for books that tackle big feelings with a light & lyrical touch, and is especially interested in those that explore themes of identity, self-discovery, and self-expression, as well as nonfiction about lesser-known people, periods, and fascinating STEM topics. Above all, Danielle loves books with captivating writing, memorable characters, and a whole lot of heart. Danielle grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, went to college in Los Angeles, and now lives in Brooklyn, where she can often be found at bookstores and bakeries.
